While on Bonaire, I'm not sure why you'd stay anywhere else. In fact, once you get here, you might ask yourself why you would leave! This little compound has everything from swimming pools, barbecues, rinse stations, and a fridge full of drinks and frozen pizzas to incredibly well stocked kitchens and fabulous owners. The perfect sunset beach with lovely swimming is two minutes across the road in your flip flops, and you're south of the airport so that you stay out of the traffic. You can't stay anywhere closer to the donkey sanctuary, and if you want to head south to see the salt production and flamingos or just dive the salt pier, you are very close. Parking is easy with plenty of spots even if you're driving one of the big rental trucks,  and if you're into TVs, this place has huge ones.  It's quiet and all very comfortable. Restaurant recommendations from the owner were spot on,  and the air conditioning with great ceiling fans is a joy after being out all day. Speaking of the owners, they're local and right nearby so that you're not dealing with an absent owner or a property management company in case you have any questions or issues.  Wifi is flawless, and of course, everything is spotlessly clean. The place has all the little things you want but can't travel with easily -- beach chairs, a cooler, etc. The washing machine is a huge plus so that you can travel home with clean clothes. I hope I can come back soon!

Wir hatten 4 wundervolle Wochen in der Curacao Villa.
Es ist alles da, was man in einem Ferienappartement braucht und noch einiges mehr wie zum Beispiel eine einige Waschmaschine!
Das war super!
Das Appartement und die Außenanlage sind großzügig geschnitten und wir sind uns selbst bei
schlechtem Wetter und „Homeoffice“ im Urlaub nicht auf die Füße getreten.
Die Vermieter sind super nett und waren sehr bemüht, uns einen schönen Urlaub zu gestalten.
Rodney hat uns viele gute Tipps für die Inselerkundung gegeben, obwohl wir nicht zum ersten mal
auf Bonaire waren.
Wir würden immer wiederkommen!

Our stay at Bachelors Beach couldn’t have been better. The property was modern, clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. The location was stellar as well; we were a 2 minute walk to the beautiful Bachelors Beach and only a short drive to almost everything on our itinerary. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and was glad to return to a quiet spot each night. We were back and forth between a few properties for our trip and I’m glad we made the right choice by booking Bachelors.

Most importantly, Rodney was an impeccable host. His communication was especially appreciated - he sent us a personal note right after booking, answered questions prior to arrival,  greeted us once we arrived, and was flexible with our checkout time. We even woke up one morning to an air pump at our front door from Rodney - he noticed we had a flat tire on our vehicle before we did! His kindness and laid back demeanor made us feel right at home. We’ll be returning for any future trips to the beautiful Bonaire!

Our 14A was comfortable and well stocked
Patio and pool perfect place to unwind after day of snorkeling. Rodney answered all questions and gave spot on recommendations for snorkeling sites and restaurants. A must place to return to!

Our stay in Bonaire was amazing! Rodney and Christa are the BEST HOSTS EVER!

We arrived in the evening after a long day of travelling. While trying to get our bearings, hungry and disoriented, arriving at the Bachelors Beach Stay was such a treat. The fully stocked fridge, was so welcome with a fair price list attached that made taking drinks and food very convenient with no awkwardness. We helped ourselves to sodas, beers and pizza and were so extremely grateful!

Prior to arriving Rodney  thoughtfully asked if he could grab anything from the grocery store which was such a huge help. We had scuba instruction arranged for the kids in the morning and without the groceries, I'm not sure what we would have done!

The place is very spacious and well organized. Beds are comfortable. The outside space is  a huge bonus. We were able to sit outside comfortably, prepare and clean our gear for scuba and winging, and the kids could cool off in the beautiful pool.

Top ratings for this stay! We have travelled extensively and stayed at many places. No where have we felt so welcomed, and comfortable. Rodney & Christa thought of everything! Amazing communication, cleanliness, and support from the host including opening the door for us when one of us had taken the keys to the wind spot and wasn't reachable.

Thank you Rodney & Christa, we would love to stay with you again when we come back to Bonaire - you will be our first choice for places to stay!

I can’t say enough positive about our stay with Rodney and Christa in the Mexican Casita! The location was perfect for diving and beach access. Also great for morning and evening runs along the coast. It’s also great access to Kralendijk, just a 3 minute drive to more awesome places than you could ever eat. But the location is just the beginning. The casita was top notch, very nice. Rodney and Christa however surpassed any and every expectation. From bringing us over home made desserts and crepes to all the inside info on dive spots, activities, restaurants, Bonaire culture etc. They know it all and will give you the inside scoop if you want it. They seriously made our stay 100% cooler than it already would have been. They even surprised us with reservations at our new favorite restaurant on our anniversary! I highly recommend them and their properties and am already making plans to come back with more of our family for another trip. Thanks guys!

Rodney & Christa’s place deserves more than 5 stars!! We stayed in Aruba (yellow house) during our visit to Bonaire and it was a highlight of the trip. The house is equipped with everything you will need! From a fully stocked kitchen with appliances right down to spices tea coffee sugar and local salt and a few cold welcoming beers in the fridge! They have reusable grocery bags for trips to the supermarket, beach chairs a cooler, beach towels, all the things that don’t fit in your luggage! Massive TVs to chill (we didn’t watch them) but enjoyed the patio out back with Jenga, checkers and down time in the hammocks!  Alexa is available to make your Bonaire soundtrack. We used the bikes to venture a few times. The pool is fabulous! The beds and pillows are super comfy after along day of adventures! As hosts they are friendly welcoming and full of advice on diving, restaurants and local costums to help you fit in like a local. Highly recommend a stay here.. we will be back!!!! Thanks for a great stay!!!

We absolutely loved this apartment, on a quiet street right around the corner from one of Bonaire's most gorgeous beaches. The central location proved ideal to explore Bonaire. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable and jam-packed with all the amenities you could want, like A/C and Alexa in every room, plus a TV with every channel around the world (not exaggerating). Everything here is carefully thought-out to make you feel at home, from the plethora of kitchen appliances to various cozy seating areas. Our hosts were fun, kind, very forthcoming (they were able to grant us an extremely late checkout due to our evening flight), and really knowledgeable - even passionate - about this beautiful island. Highly recommended.
